OVERVIEWBody language is both innate/universal and culturalPeople lie the most over the telephoneFight lensing/avoid stereotyping, look carefully

HANDSkeep them out of pockets and above the table to make people feel comfortablevisible = trustworthy, safepalms = most honest/vulnerable

INTERVIEWINGWhile Interviewing a Person1) get baseline by having casual conversation, this is what they look like when telling the truth comfortably, casual chatting. Note: hands, feet, posture, tone2) Start asking open-ended questions and watch for red flags. Red flats: mouth cover or touch, incongruent nodding and any other mismatch between verbal and nonverbal signals, one sided shrug, leaning/moving away from lie, nose touching/itchy, disbelief/sadness at own words, ventilating, self soothing/rubbing/wringing hands.3) Find clusters of inconsistencies/red flags and if present, dig deeper, ask for a second meeting run a background check. Look for crimes not reported, fraud, but there may be some other secret causing the behavior.4) Ask more questions in areas where red flags appeared. Red flags are not a conviction, just a cue to explore further.
